Celebrating our city and its resilience, this season brings you Baltimore composers, Baltimore celebrities, and collaboration with Baltimore students and institutions. We hope you join us this season for our lineup of three fabulous concerts.

Period-Perfect Messiah: We return in person with a full Baroque orchestra to the venues you love, following our unique and widely-celebrated 2020 live webcast.
in March, Made in Baltimore will showcase Baltimore composers, including the World Premiere of Houses of Peace, featuring nationally celebrated cellist Amit Peled. This concert also celebrates Edgar Allan Poe, whose poem “The Bells” was set to music by Rachmaninoff.
In April we will join with UMBC singers to perform Mozart’s effervescent Coronation Mass and Regina Coeli in Charm City Goes Classical.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Handel Choir mourns the passing of former choir member, Francis G. ‘Gil’ French. “
Singing is a tremendous release, a tremendous joy,” he said in 1996.
“There’s a thrill, a joy in singing difficult music. I wouldn’t miss choir rehearsal for anything.”
(Baltimore Sun)
